The Twenty-ninth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to request the Fund Secretariat and the Implementing Agencies to resolve the technical issues on foam density by jointly undertaking a technical study based on information from implemented Multilateral Fund projects and report back to the Sub-Committee at the time of the Thirtieth Meeting of the Executive Committee, on the understanding that the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Executive Committee would be kept informed of any progress made with the study; and
(b) to provisionally approve, on that basis, the relevant projects, on the understanding that the incremental operating costs associated with foam density still had to be determined.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/29/65, Decision 29/22, para. 48).
The Thirtieth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to urge the Secretariat and the Implementing Agencies to ensure that the study would be completed for submission to the Executive Committee at its Thirty-first Meeting.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/30/41, Decision 30/55, para. 83(b)).
The Thirty-first Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to adopt the conclusions and the recommendations of the technical study on foam density, as contained in Annex IX.10 to the present report, for a period of one year for the calculation of incremental operating costs;
(b) to request the Secretariat to arrange for work on the subject to be resumed, in order to improve the conclusions. This resumed work, may include, inter alia, consideration of the costs and viability of LCD technology for small and medium-sized enterprises, within the context of existing guidelines and cost-effectiveness thresholds.
